Comment

The only change in this diff is a version bump in .SRCINFO from 5.4.1 to 6.0.1. No build logic, sources, install scripts, permissions, or packaging metadata beyond pkgver changed. On its own this does not introduce a security issue; any risk would depend on the corresponding PKGBUILD/source changes, which are not part of this reviewed hunk.

Comment

The change only bumps the pinned upstream NordVPN Debian package from 5.4.1 to 6.0.1 across all architectures, while keeping HTTPS URLs and matching SHA-256 checksums in .SRCINFO. There are no new sources, no build-time code execution, and no packaging-script or permission changes in the reviewed hunk. The main risk remains the inherent trust in a prebuilt vendor binary, but this diff itself does not introduce additional security red flags beyond that baseline.

Comment

The change is a straightforward version bump in PKGBUILD from 5.4.1 to 6.0.1 with updated SHA256 checksums for the official NordVPN repository .deb artifacts. The source URLs remain HTTPS and point to the vendor’s repo, there are no new build-time commands, no added scripts, and no packaging logic changes. Based on the diff provided, this does not introduce an obvious security issue beyond the usual trust in upstream binary releases.

Comment

The change only updates SHA-256 checksums for the NordVPN .deb sources across architectures. The source URLs remain HTTPS and point to the official NordVPN repository, and there are no new build steps, scripts, or packaging behaviors introduced. This is a routine integrity update with no evident security regression in the PKGBUILD diff provided.
